Antarctic Star Nugget Ice Makers Countertop, Pebble Ice Machine with Chewable Pellet Ice, 34Lbs/24H, Self-Cleaning, Sonic Ice, One-Click Operation, for Kitchen,Office Stainless Steel Silver

Great appliance! A little noisy for my small studio, but I have learned to tune it out (most of the time). It is not refrigerated, so the ice does slowly melt in the bin, but it is constantly making new ice. In fact, it makes it surprisingly fast. I find myself refilling it a lot, not because the reservoir is particularly small, but because it's so convenient to grab ice for everything. As for ease of cleaning, it was a little bit confusing the first time I did it, but customer service walked me through the steps and then it was back up and running just fine. As for looks I think it is pretty compact considering, and I think the build feels like it was made with quality materials. Overall, it is a workhorse in my kitchen, and I think for the convenience it's fantastic. I would buy it again, no questions asked!!

I’m a week in and so far I’m happy with the ice maker. The ice is a little smaller than I anticipated. Ice is produced quickly. The hopper never gets full as once the ice fills to the output it shuts down. You have to manually. This is a smaller unit and works for my needs. It probably would not work for larger quantity needs.

I have had my ice maker 6 months and it started making a loud noise. I turned it off and trouble shooted and cleaned the machine. I turned it back on and the machine went quite but never made ice. I turned it off again because that is what I was instructed from product support turned it back on and now a even louder noise and still not producing ice. I have sent several videos to the warranty company and its been 3 weeks and they still are asking for more videos. I will send the broken machine back I want my money back. The customer service is terrible. I have never had such a bad experience. I will never buy from this seller again.

Works great. Makes ice quickly. Love the small pellet shape cubes. Fits nicely on the counter. It is a bit loud and runs all the time. My kids like it.

I love this ice maker. It's easy to use, not noisy to me, considering that the ice has to be moved once it's made, into the basket, so it can make more, that should be expected. The flavor is great, and I've read a lot of reviews of people saying you can't freeze it, because it melts and sticks together, I've found that if you use COLD WATER out of the fridge, it makes ice faster, if you let it cycle 4-5 times and start putting it in a baggie with the sides folded down, so the air can get to it, it WILL freeze hard. I don't have a problem with it breaking into a bunch of little pieces, or sticking all together, because by the time I let it cycle 4-5 times again, the first ice in the freezer is frozen hard, and I shake the bag as I'm emptying the 2 in so it helps with the 2nd batch freezing faster. Then, I rotate the bag a couple of times open it back up, so air can get to it to harden it up, and it's great. I eat a lot of ice. I'm anemic so I *crave* ice. I LOVED Sonic ice, went through a bag in 1½-2 days. I like mine better. Especially when I'm not making ice to have in the freezer for bringing with me when I go somewhere, and the basket is full, and it stops making it because it needs emptied... And it's kinda melted, and *chewy* yeah, that sounds weird to say, but it's that texture that I like. :)Bottom line is... I love this ice maker. It's small, and compact compared to others, but don't let that stop, or fool you. It's fast if you use *COLD* water, and just try what I've suggested. Hopefully, you'll see the difference in it, VS not. Everybody's different, water is and tastes different. I don't think you'll be dissatisfied with this one. Definitely worth every penny spent to me. I've used it every day since I got it, and not 1 issue so far.

Love this ice machine ! This is my fifth purchase of an ice maker and the VERY BEST yet.Lots of ice is a must in every drink in my house. I bought my first machine about 6 years ago, it was the bullet style cube and only lasted about a year. This was followed by 2 more bullet cube machines and 1 previous nugget style. All previous models were short lived, had to be cleaned frequently and never failed had to actually work to insure that fresh ice was available.This purchase is different in EVERY way. There is ALWAYS a full ice bin !! I think it might be a bit noiser than previous purchase and I do use only bottled water in it but when it comes time to replace it hope to find the exact model again

It worked great for about 6 months and now all the sudden, it either won't make ice at all or it makes it so slowly (like 1cup in a few hours). I would use the clean function every month or so. It has started "screaming"- making a loud screechy noise when trying to make the ice. I'm pretty disappointed. I was hoping it would last at least a year plus like previous ice machines I have had.

This is the first ice making machine I’ve ever owned, the ice maker on our refrigerater went out and I got tired of making ice, I run it usually every other day, I did try making two rounds of ice in one day and it made a squealing sound, I think it may have gotten too hot, the next time I used it there was no sound. It’s fairly quiet, not any louder than a microwave. Ice tastes good, I do use filtered water from both the faucet and then a filtered water pitcher. We have fairly hard water so I do descale it more frequently to extend the life of it. I would recommend it if you don’t need a lot of ice, for one or two people max. I’ve not tried running it more than once to know whether or not it made that noise again. I generally stick to every other day, summer coming it might end up every day. For my needs it’s been a good machine.
